I be reading the New York Trilogy, (as it is now known, the three novels collected in one volume) by Paul Auster. Little slow to get off the mark perhaps, but it's damn good existential fun.

Has anyone here read any Thomas Pynchon? I just ordered a book of his and am interested to hear if others have been impressed/disappointed by his work.

He's been discussed pretty thoroughly. You may want to do a search since I can't really remember where. quote: Originally posted by Chamberk:

Very nice. Not enough kids these days read Virginia Woolfe. Of course, something tells me you may not be a kid.  |

Just started to read Philip Roth's "The Human Stain". I am about 50 pages into it and am extremely impressed, possibly the strongest beginning to a novel I have read in the last five years. Hopefully it can retain its momentum all the way through till the end.

'Crusaders' Cross' by the always reliable James Lee Burke. One of the most poetic of the mainstream, thank god .

I've never read any of his works, but far so good.
It's a good choice to start with. |

His Illegal Self - Peter Carey. It's OK, but the only work of Carey's that I've ever truly loved was The Kelly Gang
